>> Sellaband
Hats off to the team on the BBC World Service’s Digital Planet show for bringing this site to our attention.
Sellaband is a fascinating experiment which aims to help unsigned bands record with professional producers. Part MySpace and part Dragon’s Den, the site matches up bands with fans and would-be investors to fund studio time.
Fans are invited to buy shares in a band's A & R and studio time. Once a CD is recorded the tracks are made available for free download from Sellatime and any revenue generated by advertising is split equally between the site, the band and the investors.
It’s free for fans to listen to any of the demos posted on Sellanband, so even if you have no interest in investing, it’s a good place to hear new music.
